Recipe: Tasty Tonkatsu With Sesame Miso Sauce Delicious, fresh and tasty.

Tonkatsu With Sesame Miso Sauce. In Nagoya, people enjoy eating Tonkatsu with a miso-base sauce which is made of a dark red miso paste called Hacho Miso (八丁味噌). This miso is not your ordinary red, white or awase miso (mix of red and white). For someone like myself who grew up eating Tonkatsu only with tonkatsu sauce, it was definitely a unique experience and the miso sauce is definitely an acquired taste.

Grind the sesame seeds thoroughly with a mortar (Japanese-style is best!) and pestle.

Bear in mind that the mortar must be big enough to contain all the sauce!
